What is UV-B Effects on Anthocyanins in Roses about?
The document discusses how UV-B radiation induces the biosynthesis of anthocyanins in the flower petals of two rose varieties. It finds that UV-B promotes anthocyanin accumulation, which is suppressed without UV-B exposure. The accumulation starts after UV-B exposure, with levels of one anthocyanin increasing gradually and another increasing dramatically. The unfolding flower stage between 50-100% anthesis is critical for anthocyanin biosynthesis in roses.
